He worked as a transport driver for Gandy’s Dairy until he retired; when he was not driving on the road he was doing carpentry making cabinets and gardening. He also loved the game of Baseball, he played for several years on weekends with his friends in local towns around San Angelo. He was a dedicated servant of the Lord, he and Minnie made Primera Bautista Iglesia their church to worship the Lord. They were both very involved in the ministry.
